Toronto: A Day at the Mall

A 25-year-old male was killed and seven other people were injured in Toronto Saturday evening during what the city’s police chief called a “wanton and incredibly dangerous” shooting at the Eaton Centreshopping mall.

The eight victims — four female and four male — include one 13-year-old boy who sustained a gunshot wound and is in critical condition, reported police.

Const. Victor Kwong told reporters that one pregnant female who was knocked down in the rush was taken to hospital after going into labour.

The other victims include two males and two females with gunshot wounds who are all in serious condition. One female was also taken to hospital with minor “grazing” injuries.

Police have yet to apprehend a suspect.

Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair said Saturday night that detectives “will be relentless in our pursuit of the individual or individuals who are responsible for this violence.”
